Chapter 14

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, Daoist Yuan Yi, the head of Heavenly Chi Peak, protected Ye Chen and even began chatting with him. He seemed to be very interested in him.

Lin Xiao saw this and felt a mix of emotions.

He would never have thought that these two people would cross paths!

An early-stage big boss and a male lead!

This part was off, but not completely off!

After all, as long as Ye Chen stayed, the plot could still be developed!

After a series of staid, long-winded gate-discipline formalities.

The disciple recruitment ceremony officially began.

In his free time, Lin Xiao scanned the entire place. He did not see Third Junior Sister Chu Youwei and Fourth Junior Sister Lu Yingying!

“That’s odd.”

In the original plot, Master Xiao Hongling was indeed the last to appear, but these three sisters were all present!

They all witnessed his reputation being tarnished!

“Whatever, just follow the original plot!”

Lin Xiao looked into the distance.

Ye Chen was already sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed as if he was an old monk in meditation.

He ignored the gazes of the people around him entirely.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m here!”

At this moment, an honest-looking young man walked over.

“Yo, Huaizhen, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Lin Xiao waved at his junior brother.

“What are your orders, Eldest Senior Brother?” The young man walked over eagerly.

Although this junior brother was stupid, he was Lin Xiao’s most pious follower in the original novel.

He had taken a lot of blame for him.

In the middle of the story, after Lin Xiao committed suicide at Goddess Cliff, this junior brother even tried to sneak an attack on Ye Chen to help him take revenge. His fate was, undoubtedly, that he was cruelly defeated by the protagonist and died.

“Huai Zhen, did you see the young man in black at the back of the crowd?”

Lin Xiao pointed at Ye Chen, who was meditating with his eyes closed in the distance. “He’s Senior Brother’s distant cousin. The aptitude test is coming up next. I’m prepared to help him, to show some familial affection.”

As he spoke, he took out a purple-black pill.

That’s right, it was the must-have medicine for killing and robbing in the cultivation world, the Seven Absolutes Pill!

“Hey, this thing is called the ‘Nine Refined Golden Pill.’ It’s very nourishing! It can temporarily increase one’s physique!”

“Deliver this pill to my cousin. But don’t say that it’s from me. Just say that it’s from the elders, and everyone has a share. I’m afraid that if my cousin is too touched, it will affect his performance.”

“Do you understand?”

Hearing this, Huai Zhen had tears welling up in his eyes. “Eldest Senior Brother is indeed the kindest elder in the world!”

“Not so bad. Get on with it. Let him eat while it’s hot.”

Lin Xiao waved his hand.

“Yes!”

After Huai Zhen left, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this Junior Brother Huai Zhen’s persona did not collapse.

The usual scapegoat.

Just great.

However, according to the plot of the novel, as a sixth-grade alchemist, Ye Chen easily sensed that something was wrong with the pill. Then, he decided to counter his plans by directly taking the poisonous pill to attack the Sect Master, Venerable Zi Yun.

Then, the Second Junior Sister, who hated evil, jumped out and identified him. The crowd was in an uproar!

The second wave of face-slapping would be complete!

“Yourong, don’t disappoint me again.”

Lin Xiao looked at the thoughtful Second Junior Sister in the distance and could not help but feel emotional…

How big ~

…

Huai Zhen took the Seven Absolutes Pill and rushed to the black-clothed youth excitedly.

“Cousin, oh no… Young hero, this is a nourishing pill prepared by the elders of our alchemy workshop for the young talents present today so that everyone can unleash their fullest potential.”

“This pill is called the ‘Nine Refined Golden Pill.’ It has the effect of strengthening one’s physique. Please accept it and consume it while it’s hot!”

After Huai Zhen finished speaking, he forcefully stuffed the Seven Absolutes Pill into the young man’s hand.

“Huh?”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows as if he had realized something.

“Alright, thank you for your kindness, elders. I’ll accept it.”

He replied calmly.

“Okay! All the best!”

Huai Zhen smiled warmly and rushed back to report.

“Little brat, you noticed it too, right? This pill is unusual ~”

The young man was staring at the pill in his hand when the ring sounded again.

“Yes, if I’m not wrong, this pill is called the Seven Absolutes Pill. It’s a vicious pill that specially targets entry-level martial artists and triggers the astral qi in their bodies to destroy their meridians.”

Ye Chen said softly.

“Tsk tsk, you’re promising. I was right about you. Then… what are you going to do next?”

Elder Stone in the ring asked with curiosity.

“You should be asking me who gave this poison and why.” Ye Chen said coldly.

“Ah… Could it be that you already know who it is?” Elder Stone asked in surprise.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Ye Chen sneered and looked up. Sure enough, he saw the Eldest Senior Brother of the Divine Phoenix Peak staring at him.

There was still a sinister smile on his lips that did not match his handsome face.

“Heh, what a joke. Do you want to harm me with your shrewdness? You’re just short of calling me the mastermind!”

Ye Chen felt even more disdain in his heart. Then, an idea flashed through his mind!

He suddenly had a plan!

“Got it! Elder Stone! Why don’t we beat him at his own game!”

Ye Chen suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

“What do you mean, pal?”

“Elder Shi, did you say before that the ‘Violet Clouds Pill Dao’ you asked me to practice can cure all poisonous pills below the fifth grade?”

“Yes, of course!”

“Then what grade is this Seven Absolutes Pill?”

“Barely fifth-grade.”

Elder Shi said. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. “Could it be that you want to…”

“That’s right! You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! The Azure Mist Sect has always been strict with its rules. Today, I’m going to use the ruse of suffering to attract the attention of the chiefs. Then, I’ll make this disgusting immortal stick pay the price!”

A big triumphant smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face.

“Wait a minute, young friend! This is not an ordinary Seven Absolutes Pill!”

Elder Stone seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly shouted.

Still, he was too late.

Ye Chen decisively swallowed the Seven Absolutes Pill.

“Lin Xiao, wait for your death! Hahahahaha…”

There was a burst of laughter.

Gulp~

The pill was already in his stomach.

Ye Chen felt his stomach churn. Then, his limbs began to spasm uncontrollably!

With this in mind, he quickly circulated his internal cultivation technique, the ‘Violet Clouds Pill Dao,’ in an attempt to suppress the pill’s poison. Then, he planned to complain to the chiefs on the platform and commit manslaughter with a borrowed knife!

WHOOSH!

Purple light seeped out from his body!

However, in just a second, the red light around him dissipated!

He could no longer withstand the burning of the astral qi in his body, and his face became extremely distorted!

The next moment, blood seeped out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!

“There’s something wrong with this poisonous pill!”

Ye Chen stretched his throat and let out a low, difficult growl.

“Of course, there’s a problem. This… is a Seven Absolutes Pill refined by a third-grade alchemist. It’s probably at least a third-grade pill. Sigh~”

Elder Stone’s sigh came from the ring.

Ye Chen was thoroughly furious!

“You… why didn’t you say so earlier! I don’t want this stupid ring!”

With that, he took off the ring and smashed it on the ground!

“Eldest Senior Brother, we did it! You don’t have to worry about being harmed by this guy anymore!”

Under the sycamore tree in the distance, a beautiful girl in red smiled in relief.

…

…

Meanwhile.

On the other side where the high-level disciples sat, a handsome boy’s inner defense was completely crushed!

“Oh, my Heavens!”

“What’s this guy doing?”

“Is he stupid? According to the original plot, shouldn’t he realize that this is the poisonous Seven Absolutes Pill?”

“And he swallowed it down?”

Lin Xiao was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine!

These days, being a villain…

Was also very tough!
